Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is known as the biological energy currency because it serves as the primary molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells. During the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids, ATP is synthesized and utilized to drive various biochemical processes. Carbohydrates, primarily glucose, undergo glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to ATP generation. Similarly, lipids undergo beta-oxidation, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP. This energy is then used for cellular functions like muscle contraction, active
